Eco Group

Committed to promoting responsible stewardship of our natural resources, we have demonstrated continual improvement in our use of materials and resources. As a result we are one of only a handful of churches to achieve a second Eco-Congregation award.

  • Installation of cycle racks a wildlife garden
  • Ground source heating
  • New tea and coffee systems within the church using Fairtrade products
  • Hosted a successful Fairtrade Breakfast
  • Eco tips and news

All these factors have contributed to the Church gaining this award.

Medication blister pack recycling ceases on 2nd February

Some more good news in that Boots Chemists in the Brittania Centre, off Castle Street in Hinckley should start to accept empty tablet blister packs from February this year (2025) . For that reason please do not bring any more blister pack after Sunday 2nd February 2025.
Thank you for all your efforts. The project has worked extremily well and the bin has been emptied many times since its introduction.

What is an Eco Church?

The Eco Church survey provides a framework to support your church and its leadership to take practical action on caring for God’s earth. The survey covers five key areas of church life:

  • Worship and teaching
  • Buildings and energy
  • Land and nature
  • Community and global engagement
  • Lifestyle

Our repsonses to the  Echo Church Survey in 2016 showed that we had achieved Gold Standard!
